Verse 1:

Am C Well he came from Northern Ireland Am C Searching for the free man's ground Am C And he came to bet his fortune G Am On a West Virginia plow

Verse 2:

Am C He built a house of timber Am C And raised a redhead son Am C Then they worked the land together G Am And prayed the rain would come
F C There's a scarecrow in the garden G Am That looks like Lucifer F Am And I've been reading Revelations G Am With my bare feet in the river

Verse 3:

Am C Well the redhead's son got older Am C And took a brown eyed wife Am C And the fields were green as dollars G Am Cause the dirt was black as night

Verse 4:

Am C I came in late September Am C The youngest one of three Am C And my sisters off and married G Am So the land was left to me
F C There's a scarecrow in the garden G Am That looks like Lucifer F Am And I've been reading Revelations G Am With my bare feet in the river

Verse 5:

G I know every single fencepost F Am Every rock that goes around G I've been staring at the red oak F Am Where I know they'll lay me down

Verse 6:

Am C The fields ain't what they once were Am C The rains just seem to flood Am C And I've been thinking about that river G Am Wondering how it turned to blood Am C I've been sitting here all morning Am C I was sitting here all night Am C There's a bible in my left hand G Am And a pistol in my right
